aiLL April 29, 2023 - Inside the AI Revolution - What It Means for You

Transcript

1. 0:00hey everybody if you have any questions about AI feel free to drop it in the chat and I'll address anything one of the things that
2. 0:12I've talked about on the channel I've actually got these things pinned is that I think what we're going through in in
3. 0:182023 with AI is very very reminiscent of what I experienced in 1995 when I discovered the World Wide Web discovered
4. 0:27it in 94 and started one of the early online magazines and this this time is is very very similar where not a lot of people know what's
5. 0:40going on um even though a lot of people are using this and certainly on Tick Tock and YouTube there are a lot of people telling you they
6. 0:48know what's going on the reality is nobody knows what's going on um we are so incredibly early the difference between then and now is that
7. 0:59the speed of innovation is is dramatically higher and the um the quality of the output of the tools is um
8. 1:13is way more impressive so what you can do with AI compared to what you could do with the web that can in the mid 90s like the the web in the
9. 1:22mid 90s was ridiculous you know you could do hyperlinks and you could input some images but that was about it
10. 1:28anything else was was very very uh it was just very very basic but even with that basic stuff we we did some remarkable things
11. 1:38um what's happening with AI is the tools are profoundly more powerful um just I like it I think I've said this in a couple of of
12. 1:49of my videos that I just I feel like for the past four months I've just been my jaw's been hanging open about everything that is coming um
13. 2:00or everything that's here and and how quickly everything's coming so uh yeah it's it's crazy uh welcome if you're
14. 2:09here I see 19 of you if you have any questions uh put them in the chat I'm happy to you talking about links or what I'm
15. 2:17talking about AI I'm talking about generative AI and what's that say um you can ask me about AI I don't know
16. 2:28anything about links uh I don't even know if that's a game or an operating system or what or do you mean links back in the 90s
17. 2:36like Lynx browsers uh that were text browsers uh I was talking about the parallels between um the World Wide Web sort of being birthed
18. 2:46and coming alive in the mid 90s and how that compares to what's going on right now with uh with AI and and that
19. 2:55there's a lot of parallels there and [Music] it's here's the feeling that I have everything has changed but nobody knows
20. 3:04it yet how we do everything we're gonna do from work to how we create software um to how we interact is going to um is going to change
21. 3:18hello Chanel how are you good to see you uh if anyone has any questions about AI about some of the tech going on or if
22. 3:27they're trying something and can't figure it figure it out please let me know hey from Toronto um I'm happy to talk about it this is my
23. 3:36first live so I'm just trying to figure out you know do I have anything interesting to say do you have any
24. 3:40interesting questions is it worth me doing this uh so so let me know uh how this could be of value let's see so I've seen a lot of AI
25. 3:50avatars that speak on Tick Tock how do they generate that so there's there's a lot of different ways to do that
26. 3:58um there there's a site called Synthesia there's a site called d-i-d.com there's I don't know there's there's a
27. 4:09handful of them and you can create those avatars in one of two ways you can just type text and it will create fully synthesized um
28. 4:20uh voices or you can record audio and then it will animate a face to that recorded audio so um yeah let's see um
29. 4:34can I say Michael cheese Harry Michael my coochie's Harry is that what you're trying to go to yeah I can say that
30. 4:42I don't have a coochie but happy to say that let's see uh what else do we have here good to see you good to see you too
31. 4:51um I came in late but I love the topic yeah topics AI if you want to chat AI hang around ask me questions
32. 4:58uh encourage my viewers to share your life all right share this live and encourage your friends to come see you don't have to do that
33. 5:07um I can pin a comment uh yeah so I'm Kyle Shannon this is the AI learning lab if you are if you just stumbled on here
34. 5:14my channel is all about talking about generative AI um how quickly it's coming uh what its implications are how to incorporate it
35. 5:22into your business or into your life or if those two are very blurry um how to deal with that uh Synthesia uh
36. 5:33s-y-n-t-h-e-s-i-a is one of them and dash id.com in fact I can go there hang on go to Dash id.com this is one of the ones I've used before
37. 5:48so let me log in here and hold on I'm logging on um
38. 6:02yeah so if I say create video let's see so here's the thing so I've got some images down here I've got some
39. 6:09that I created and put in there so here's here's one of me um from my uh Kyle Shannon dreams project so I can now just um select a voice
40. 6:20so we'll grab a dude we'll grab I don't know who's this Stefan this is Stefan in American English and then we'll type in something here
41. 6:30hello Tick Tock live how are you this is how you make an animated Avatar
42. 6:47um oh let's see hope fully this makes it make more sense what's what's remarkable about this Tech and now I'm going to say generate video
43. 7:02and it's going to do that what's remarkable about this Tech is that you know this is the kind of thing that even
44. 7:08six months ago you would have had to import this into you know 3D software like blender create meshes
45. 7:16create animation uh Frameworks I forget what they're called and do it and now I'm just taking an image that I created in
46. 7:26um in mid-journey or this was stable diffusion actually I uploaded it into this thing talk live how are you this is how you make an
47. 7:36animated Avatar hopefully this makes it make more sense right so that's that's how it it uh that's how
48. 7:46it works hey gen xer here that is blown away by IAI yeah hello fellow gen xer um we're out there nobody talks about us
49. 7:55much but but we're out there kicking ass so so welcome Gen X uh so so I'm happy to show you anything if you guys want to
50. 8:04take a look I'm happy to show you anything if I know how to do it um is w h Will Wait we'll let will Buck AI with mask in any way I
51. 8:17don't know what that means let's see so are you a lecturer Professor or just an expert in this field
52. 8:22I hope it's not a rude question it's not a rude question I don't know what I am I am just a guy I'm an entrepreneur
53. 8:30um I'm the CEO of a company called storyvine uh we'll be 11 years old on May 1st so we've been around for a while
54. 8:36I've been I'm a Storyteller by training and um I was very active in the early days of the web so I started one of the first
55. 8:44digital agencies and one of the first online magazines um I think this AI stuff is the second big revolution of technical Revolution
56. 8:53that I will have experienced in my life actually the third the first one was the PC Revolution when I was in in seventh
57. 8:59grade I got my first hands on my first PC and I recognized that I was just too young to be part of that Revolution but
58. 9:06you know recognized that it was a big deal the web in my opinion was the next big revolution that kind of changed how
59. 9:13we communicate you know entirely and I think this AI stuff is the third one so I started this Channel about four months ago
60. 9:22um really just as a way to kind of process what I was learning and to kind of get things out of my head um so I do I Don't lecture I'm not a
61. 9:32professor but I love teaching and I love evangelizing this stuff because I think that it's tremendously exciting what's going
62. 9:39on right now but it's also tremendously scary and I think the level of disruption is going to be insane uh and and I think that the best
63. 9:51antidote to to both the fear and the impact of AI is to get curious about it to learn about it um to explore it to figure it
64. 10:01out so so that's what this channel is about that's what uh that's what my whole MO is lately um this is my first live so I don't
65. 10:10really know what the hell I'm doing here so if I suck just you know let me know uh true it's very scary uh White House
66. 10:17oh so there's a thing about the White House here is is the White House going to block I AI or mask it in any way well
67. 10:25okay so so that's that's a really good question um the power of AI is profound it's its ability to do both tremendous good and
68. 10:39tremendous damage is out there um I think prior to November 30th 2022 this would be a very different conversation
69. 10:49um the significance of that date that was the date that chat GPT was released why is chat GPT a big deal well it's
70. 10:57it's a very similar kind of uh comparing it back to the 90s the internet had been around for decades and the World Wide
71. 11:05Web now made that internet much more accessible to just regular people if you could learn a little bit of HTML you
72. 11:10could build a website and you could you know participate in the internet it was much harder than that before
73. 11:16um chat EPT is a similar kind of simple interface on a thing that had really just been relegated to data scientists
74. 11:23and and Geeks and things like that there's a lot of other things go on that led up to chat GPT but to to put it in perspective the um
75. 11:35the World Wide Web to get to 100 million users took um eight years chat GPT got to 100 million users in two months two months
76. 11:45and so what's happened is this um the the the the the massive adoption of chat GPT has essentially forced all
77. 11:53the other companies Google meta I'm sure we're going to see something from Apple in June um AWS plus a lot of Open Source projects to to
78. 12:03push all of their technology out into the marketplace I don't think I I honestly don't think that would have
79. 12:08happened I think these companies tend to be conservative and they keep it all behind closed doors check EBT has sort
80. 12:15of forced everyone Out of the Shadows um so so many many people are starting to use these tools now and they are you
81. 12:24know going to impact business and um revenue and profitability and disinformation in an election year all
82. 12:34of this stuff is gonna it's gonna come at us quite quickly so I think that regulation is required um I don't think the White House is I
83. 12:43mean if you look at the hearings on Tick Tock alone I mean the the Congress people they don't understand how basic
84. 12:50Wi-Fi works so I don't know I don't know quite how they're going to regulate something like AI I think they will try to regulate it
85. 12:59um I think they will fail miserably for a while the the other thing that's happened last week four different
86. 13:07large language models were released to the to open source stability AI released one there was Dali 2.0 d-o-l-l-y not the
87. 13:17image generation thing but uh Dolly I forget the name of the company that that had it um but but these open source large language models
88. 13:26um are open source they're not going to have any safety controls on them so I think regulations needed I don't think
89. 13:32the White House is going to be able to put their their arms around this thing I don't think anyone is I think I think this is
90. 13:38um cat out of the bag technology so so that's what's going on let me see what other comments we have here um I'm in China the Chinese
91. 13:51uh already broken chat GPT I've heard they're trying to make their I'm sure they are I listen I think I think
92. 13:58um Chinese artificial intelligence is probably quite Advanced I I would assume it's quite Advanced now it might not be
93. 14:04Advanced and out in the Public's hands um but yeah I think I think China's probably got some data scientists and I I think
94. 14:13the technology that chat GPT was built on everybody's had access to since 2017. so so everything that we're seeing right
95. 14:21now whether it's image generation or these audio generation things or the um text to video or chat gbt or Bard or
96. 14:29or you know anything anthropic all of their sort of stuff is all based on this technology that Google created and
97. 14:36introduced in 2017. called the Transformer and the the big deal about the Transformer is that it allowed
98. 14:44these AI neural networks to be trained on massive amounts of data and chat GPT in particular a couple of things made a powerful um gpt3
99. 14:56um was was the one that was kind of trained on all of the internet um and then they used a thing called
100. 15:02human reinforcement learning where they had human beings at open AI use the tool get the answers back and then they would
101. 15:09give it sort of thumbs up thumbs down of whether that answer was good or not and very very quickly the tool got better at
102. 15:16what it did by humans telling it whether the answer was good or not the other thing that happened which is really fascinating is they also
103. 15:25um trained it up on programming languages so they made it very very good at coding understanding code and an interesting thing happened that
104. 15:34was I think they called them emergent properties um the emergent property that came out when they taught gpt3 how to code or you know to
105. 15:44understand code was that the language processing got dramatically better so I think my my um uh you know uh sort of fake
106. 15:53assumption or just my assumption based on no knowledge is that if it understands programming logic and understands logic better
107. 16:01um and so I think that made the language better so so um they they had a dramatic breakthrough the reason chat GPT or gpt3 was so good
108. 16:10I think was this combination of of programming understanding code and understanding this massive data set all of the internet basically
109. 16:19um and then gpt4 is just a much more sophisticated version of that so back to the China thing um how open AI did what they did is is
110. 16:28probably relatively straightforward from a technical perspective uh to replicate the elements that they used the the sort
111. 16:37of proprietary bits about how they train things that might be harder to reverse engineer but I don't know I'm not a data
112. 16:43scientist so uh so it's very possible that um that they can reverse engineer in China um but I here's the thing about these
113. 16:54large language models I think the large language models are going to be ubiquitous they're going to be
114. 16:58everywhere everyone's going to have one you're going to have lots of different um options to choose from there's going
115. 17:04to be open source really crazy versions that have no safety controls on them there's going to be ones that are used
116. 17:10by business that have lots of safety controls on them there's going to be large language models that are built on
117. 17:15top of private data sets like there's one called Bloomberg GPT that's based on Bloomberg proprietary financial data
118. 17:25um so these things are going to be everywhere so that's my two cents on that let's see any other questions feel free to ask questions about
119. 17:34um anything AI I can I can show you things on screen uh if if you've got things you want to see I can mess around
120. 17:42with GPT and show you their chat GPT and show you some of the things I'm doing there I'm also happy just to talk about
121. 17:50uh whatever Jasper uh Jasper meaning the the copywriting tool hang on Jasper AI so yeah so Jasper is interesting Jasper came out before chat
122. 18:06GPT and where is it there it is um but Jasper is built it's basically a front end on top of um gpt3 at this point it's probably on
123. 18:20top of gpt4 um but but Jasper is basically like a really fancy version of chat GPT and and so all of the little tools that they
124. 18:30have like here's a Blog writing tool and a tweet writing tool those are just basically pre-prompted little
125. 18:36um uh tools that sit on top of GPT so it's actually quite similar technically to to chat GPT but it's much more specialized for for a
126. 18:49bunch of specific writing tasks you could accomplish just using chat GPT and clever prompting all of the same things
127. 18:56that Jasper does that you pay for but you'd have to figure out the prompts to get it to do that well um so so there's and that's actually an
128. 19:04important thing to understand that using the core model using GPT 3.5 or gpt4 um where you're interacting with the
129. 19:15model directly gives you a lot more power and flexibility but you have to figure everything out there's going to be a whole series of
130. 19:24um applications that are built where someone has figured out ah I figured out a way to have chat EBT help you write a
131. 19:31novel and all that's going to be is they've figured out a series of prompts in a row that walk you through you know
132. 19:36asking you a series of question and they're basically just sending their prompts to to the G GPT models to give
133. 19:42you those answers so if you are curious and and like to explore things figure that stuff out on your own if you're not
134. 19:52and you're just like I want a tool to help me write for my business um then use Jasper or copy AIS another one um McKinsey
135. 20:02I forget McKenzie's last name but but the guy who created um GPT boss he's doing one of these where where rather
136. 20:10than it being writing tools you're hiring different assistants so you've got a writing assistant and a marketing
137. 20:16assistant and a coding assistant and things like that so so that's what those tools are all about let's see AI can now do let's see have I
138. 20:26tried any plugins code I've I've tried a little bit of the plugins I haven't played a lot they're they're really
139. 20:32weird right now like how you find plug-ins they're not making it easy for you to find plugins I think on purpose
140. 20:40um the plugins right now are very limited it's it's relatively easy to develop a plug-in I haven't done it yet
141. 20:45but it's relatively easy to develop them but then you can only give them to like 15 people so so the plug-in thing right
142. 20:54now is incredibly promising but I think they're trying to figure out all the safety issues um I know that there's a browsing
143. 21:01plug-in which that one I'm really interested in I don't have access to it yet but the browsing plugin will allow
144. 21:07you to have chat GPT if it doesn't have up-to-date information like anything post September 2021 you can go out and
145. 21:15search on the internet and find that data and incorporate that into your answer or you could do citations things like that
146. 21:22um so I haven't tried them yet but I mean I have tried them but I haven't dug in deep enough to really know what's
147. 21:28going on there so I'm kind of useless there all right AI can now do predictions for Market stock that's interesting no
148. 21:34um it is interesting I you know again I I feel like there are tremendous amount of people on Tick Tock and YouTube going
149. 21:43you know you can write a trading bot with chat gbt and make thousands a day and you know they show one example where
150. 21:49it made some money and then you know the rest of them I think they lose money I think I think trading bots in general
151. 21:56people have been trying to make trading Bots that can can outsmart the market for decades uh and haven't successfully
152. 22:04done it or if they have they're staying quiet about it because they're getting rich on it you know people tend to get
153. 22:09rich writing trading Bots by selling them to other people um so um that's not to say that um chechi PT or you know gpd4 or
154. 22:22whatever you know these large language models won't be able to help us solve issues like that so I think at some point
155. 22:29someone's going to figure out a way to to predict a marketer to do predictions in a way that's actually valid and not
156. 22:35just scammy whether or not they share that with the world we'll have to see um let's see latest news would I recommend any online courses
157. 22:47related to understanding these things in chat gbt um not really we're we're so early here that here's what I can tell you about experts
158. 22:58um even like myself is don't trust any of them because anyone that tells you they know what's going on is lying now
159. 23:06does that mean there aren't experts out there who figured out really clever ways to write GPT prompts sure there are and
160. 23:13you could take those courses but you can also find that information for free you could also have here's a fun one
161. 23:21have chat GPT be your tutor ask it to um tell you how to write prompts um for for the project you want to do
162. 23:30and then use the prompts it gives you and if you don't understand something tell it to teach you um I would say that's that's probably
163. 23:37more effective than paying someone to teach you because the problem with by the time you put a course together
164. 23:43even if you use GPT to put it together quickly it's already out of date um so so any of these courses you're
165. 23:50going to kind of be behind the eight ball just things are things are moving so fast so um if if you feel really lost and like you
166. 23:59don't know where to start you can do that I would say in that case you know follow on Tick Tock if you find people
167. 24:06that are doing stuff or YouTube there's plenty of tutorials out there for free that can get you started
168. 24:12um one way to do this is I I think there are there are two things that you can start with that that are
169. 24:18um are the place to start to just start to get your head around this one is text generation so chat GPT and one is image
170. 24:25generation so stable diffusion or mid-journey or Dolly um any of those kind of tools and and I created on on The Tick Tock channel here
171. 24:35a thing called the 2023 smart challenge which is um pick a project or pick two projects one personal and one for your business or
172. 24:46your community or your family and use a combination of chat GPT and image generation to do a project to solve a problem it could
173. 24:56be create a children's book for your kid it could be I don't know um solve a marketing problem for your community organization or for your
174. 25:07business um and rather than just trying to figure out what do I do with chat GPT actually try to solve a problem so so someone
175. 25:14comes to you and says you know I don't know how to put together a marketing plan use Chachi PT to do that that's
176. 25:20probably the best way to learn right now is just get your hands on these tools and start playing so hope that helps um
177. 25:28where do you see AI in 50 years this is a great question I I wouldn't have had an answer to this but I I talked to a
178. 25:34friend of mine who said he's been thinking about AI in a 30 to 50 year time frame and and he gave me the answer so I'm
179. 25:41going to basically just parrot his answer because I think it's quite good he said he thinks in a 30 to 50 year
180. 25:46time frame the impact on AI is that everything that's complicated right now will be simple meaning this any complicated system like say um
181. 25:59buying a house or buying a car or doing your taxes or selling a business anything you know a lawsuit just anything that's complicated
182. 26:11will be fully automated all of the complicated parts will be taken care of by Ai and and so everything will get
183. 26:18quite simple you will ask for things and the complicated stuff will be done I think one of the possible implications
184. 26:25of that is that it it returns us as humans back to reconnecting as humans that the machines can start to do let's see
185. 26:35invite to wait what is this what am I accepting here sorry hold please I don't know someone invited me to do
186. 26:43something I don't know what it was um anyway so so um and and the implications of that are quite profound so for example right now
187. 26:50if you want to use all of the super secret tax loopholes you have to be kind of loaded and have the best accountants
188. 26:56in the world and and you know they figure out those tax Loops loopholes for you and invest in the Cayman Islands and
189. 27:03do all that crap right they're expert at at managing the complex systems and they get paid a lot of money to do that
190. 27:10well what happens when everyone in the world has this effectively the the world's best accountant doing all of
191. 27:16that work for them well the revenue that that is lost by everyone having all the tax loopholes will change tax laws
192. 27:25um same if if the FED drops their rate right now not everyone refinances their home because it's complicated but you
193. 27:32could have a system where the minute the FED drops the interest rate your house automatically or you know your system
194. 27:38automatically refinances your house so so I think very complicated systems get very very simple and I think the the
195. 27:45you know the the impact of that is that laws will have to change how we interact will change all that sort of stuff so I
196. 27:51don't know what a I will look like but I think that um it's very possible that a lot of the complexity that our world today is based on
197. 27:59um kind of drops into background noise which which would be kind of nice I would I would like it not to be so
198. 28:05complicated what are my thoughts on the impacts of the management Consulting industry knowledge workers
199. 28:11are in trouble so what I would say is this um to the extent that you rely on time and materials to the extent that you
200. 28:22take two weeks to answer a question for your clients to the extent that you rely on I don't know a scarcity mindset
201. 28:32um to to drive the value of your business you're in trouble um because a lot of the work that you do as a
202. 28:43consultant I do I do a fair amount of this work and a lot of the work that you do is asking questions and then going
203. 28:49away and doing research and then formulating an answer and things like that and and I think that clients are
204. 28:56increasingly going to be able to do that for themselves so one of the one of the things that will happen is
205. 29:02I think demand for Consulting Services will precipitously drop but it won't be an obvious thing you'll probably still
206. 29:09have your annual contracts but you just may interact with people less because there's effectively self-servicing
207. 29:16um Consulting you know asking questions and getting decent answers um again I think there's a there's a a
208. 29:22very real possibility that the high-end Consultants the ones that that the businesses really trust um will be could have driven to do more
209. 29:32more human interaction more more back and forth interaction so um so I don't think Consulting is dead but I think the business changes
210. 29:39dramatically I think you're gonna have to respond you know within 24 hours if not within an hour um to to relatively complicated
211. 29:48questions I would think that um one of the I'm working with a an organization right now to do this if
212. 29:56you've got proprietary information about how you analyze things how you look at the world your world view creating a
213. 30:02chat bot that lets someone interact with your effectively your intellectual property in real time a tool like that
214. 30:09and then and then once they get their answers with your proprietary information they can say Okay I want to
215. 30:14talk to Jim about you know this thing that I found um I think something like that may work but I think I think the model changes I
216. 30:21think the how you build clients changes I I think expectations change how you sell it changes where the value is
217. 30:27changes uh but it's not listen I think this is is for every industry out there I mean knowledge work in general is is
218. 30:34in in a mess uh let's see I have to go thank you you're welcome you're an expert much respect I'm not an expert I
219. 30:40am I'm curious and trying to learn as much as I can from the fire hose uh I'm doing my best so thank you for that uh
220. 30:49big implications to labor markets big implications to any Market I I think um if you look at if you think of
221. 30:56business as a square right you have you have kind of horizontal people at different levels and and um the sort of
222. 31:04tactical stuff happens at the bottom level the Strategic stuff happens at the top level and then it's kind of you know
223. 31:10varying degrees of that as you go down through this Square think what happens with um with AI is that
224. 31:17um the the bottom the executional layer of businesses is going to get automated out right so but it's not necessarily
225. 31:24just the the the lower level or entry level people are going to be automated out it's also that a lot of the stuff
226. 31:30that happens in the mid-level and the Strategic level that also gets impacted so I think you won't need as many VPS to
227. 31:38figure out strategies and plans because you'll be able to do that so I think I think you know throughout an organization
228. 31:45um the value of of certain people or the requirements of their work may just be automated away and then what happens
229. 31:54next is the real question right we're in a capitalist Society so do we just um let go of those people and become
230. 32:02more profitable or do we redeploy those people to use these tools to make ourselves more productive or increase
231. 32:08the quality of our work I think both are options I'm a fan of like you know do better work and charge less for it
232. 32:15um but yeah who knows who knows um thank you so much for your time and your answer you're welcome um jukebox AI
233. 32:23M voice can write a song and sing it yeah the the music industry right now if you look there was there was a song that
234. 32:31was put out by it featured it wasn't by it featured synthesized voices of Drake and the weekend and it was an AI
235. 32:40composed song it was put on Spotify it got like 20 million streams you know on Spotify and other services and spotify's taking it down um
236. 32:50but you know that wasn't by um uh that wasn't by Drake or the weekend that was just that was like fan art right that was like fan so a fan
237. 33:02created a song featuring those people and it got all these hits so it was kind of them singing but it wasn't and I
238. 33:09think I heard I I forget which artist it was I think it was sizza one of the one of the singing artists just put out a
239. 33:16thing that she said she said synthesize my voice make all the music you want just split split it with me 50 50. which
240. 33:24I thought is fascinating so so I think you're gonna see artists where they don't even necessarily need to put out
241. 33:29music other people can put the music uh out there as well um thanks Kyle this is James from acomdays hey James how's it going I
242. 33:37don't know which James James uh there were a few James I knew but uh I think I might know who that is but anyway hey there how's it going
243. 33:45um let's see um yeah so the music industry is going to be really interesting um you know intellectual property law I
244. 33:53feel like the next 20 years the people that are gonna get really rich are the IP lawyers because they're going to be
245. 33:58suing on both sides for decades and and there's no real right answer um this is this is going to take a lot
246. 34:05of years to sort out because there's a lot of gray areas um yeah so uh what else what else can I answer if
247. 34:14you've got any um questions feel free to ask them I've got two new messages I'm new to this live thing so I don't quite
248. 34:21know what to do oh it's Grimes that's right Grimes is the the artist that offered the 50 50 deal wait is Grimes
249. 34:28the one that was was Elon musk's girlfriend for a while no that was someone else or was that Grimes I don't know I'm I'm too old for this I
250. 34:37don't I don't I don't know pop culture anymore at all uh yes okay so so so actually it's that's kind of interesting that that
251. 34:47Elon musk's ex is the one that put that deal out there hmm interesting that's very that's I think it's actually quite
252. 34:53smart because because here's the thing any artist who's who's got a well-known following right now I mean I only need
253. 35:0030 seconds of anyone's voice probably less than that to really synthesize it so so anyone who's out there
254. 35:08um you know whether it's actors or voice over actors or musicians who's got you know um content in the public
255. 35:15Marketplace or interviews that they've done um you're gonna be able to synthesize them right and you're going to be able
256. 35:21to synthesize their looking look if you want it and match it to whatever the the music video is you want to produce
257. 35:27you're going to be able to write music that sounds like their music without having any of those skills
258. 35:32um so so this is going to happen whether artists want it to or not and and you know you essentially can't sue everyone
259. 35:38right people will try but but you know we're moving into a world okay here so here's an interesting thing copyright
260. 35:46law is based on copyright and trademark law is based on a scarcity mindset meaning it was difficult to create
261. 35:54things in the early days and as we moved into digital it got easier and easier to produce stuff but you still had to have
262. 35:59talent and and put the things together and it was much more clear you know if you were stealing something you were
263. 36:05literally you know copying and pasting elements from you know initially from tape and then digitally you know
264. 36:11snipping Parts together and all the sort of 80s and 90s hip-hop IP lawsuits that happened were all that but this this
265. 36:19stuff is different it's we're moving into uh like like an infinite amount of college infinite amount of content
266. 36:27um era where it's incredibly easy for anyone to create anything and right now the tools are really janky and you kind
267. 36:35of have to hack them together a year from now two years from now it's literally going to be as simple as I want to hear um a song by Jay-Z
268. 36:45um about this that or the other and it will just make one and then do you share that with the world I don't know if you
269. 36:52share it with the world does anyone get compensated I don't know um so so we're moving into fascinating times um
270. 37:00let's see oh and and Grimes is the the mother of his children that's cool and I think she's the mother of the one child
271. 37:08with the really strange name with the X named after the space plane uh um oh Luke and Leah oh so I guess I guess not
272. 37:19um what do I think will be the impact of AI on e-commerce um I think that e-commerce I think how you get to the products is
273. 37:32going to change pretty dramatically I've got a buddy of mine has a a sneaker company and he spends a tremendous amount of time and money
274. 37:41with SEO strategies and driving people to a site and landing pages and all that sort of stuff and and he's his company
275. 37:48is a minimalist shoe company so it's it's uh for for you know minimum it's for runners and things like that and
276. 37:57you know with with the plugins with chat GPT um it it points to a future where where effectively the internet becomes your
277. 38:06own personalized version of the internet so rather than going to um his website and navigating through
278. 38:13his Pages or landing on a page you got to from from SEO you might start with you know my knees ache and then that
279. 38:21might lead you to some answers about you know it could be issues with you know tendons or posture or running gait and
280. 38:28that might lead you to to minimalist running theories about you know how elevated shoes actually screw up your
281. 38:35knees and then you might say huh I want to try this and you're going to learn about the theories behind that and then
282. 38:39you might say you know who are the companies within that and it will tell you and then you'll see the products and
283. 38:45then you might just be able to buy the product right so so so you've got a problem you're trying to solve it and within the context of that
284. 38:54interaction without going anywhere like all of the data is brought to you it's it's not even brought to you all of the
285. 39:00data is generated for you in context of what you're trying to solve so I think I think um understanding how that works and
286. 39:10making sure that your data sets are as active as possible in all of the large language models is going to be huge so
287. 39:19it's not SEO search engine optimization it is llmo um large language model optimization I don't even know if there is such a thing
288. 39:29I think both Google and Microsoft will um we'll try to monetize this stuff so so they're going to probably put
289. 39:38advertising within the large language model answers but I can tell you this because there's so many open source
290. 39:44large language models if they do it too much and their results start to suck people will go to other tools people
291. 39:50will go to tools that work because once you experience just getting an answer rather than getting a list of 20 things
292. 39:56that you've got to sift through you don't want to go back so um so it's going to be interesting to see how they monetize this stuff if they
293. 40:02try to do it with advertising um I said I was starting a business what is it and how are you going to do it um
294. 40:09no I've started a business I'm 11 years into a business um I am rethinking my business I'm rethinking um how we do what we do I'm rethinking
295. 40:23what the core value proposition is of the business um I'm rethinking what it is and what it can be um and I've actually got that decently
296. 40:34well articulated now um and I I showed that to one of our our major clients um last week and they were so excited about it they
297. 40:43said can you hop on a plane and come out here and see us next week to talk about it so um so yeah is as as I start to integrate
298. 40:54what a AI makes possible into my business in a lot of ways it's like I'm restarting the business um but haven't quite done it yet it's
299. 41:00the business is still what it is but the future of it looks very very different um what other questions can I ask or can
300. 41:09I answer I can probably ask a lot of them um I can also show you some things here on uh on the internets if you want me to to do
301. 41:20anything let's see um I have an idea using AI for SAS project management consulting any advice um thank you I will be a success I
302. 41:32appreciate that um the project management SAS companies are really interesting one because I think a
303. 41:40lot of project management is going to be handled automatically um I don't know how quickly that's gonna
304. 41:47happen and you could potentially start that company right so so if here's the thing anywhere where you've got deep
305. 41:55expertise what I would say is start using um generative AI um to do what you can like chat GPT can probably do
306. 42:06um you know flow charts Gantt charts all that sort of stuff if you know sort of take the code of what it generates and
307. 42:11put it in tools that can visualize it um it can it can probably do some pretty sophisticated stuff right now and if you
308. 42:19if you use automation tools like zapier and I think there's another one called make um where you can stitch actions together
309. 42:25you could probably build some pretty sophisticated project management tools so um so I think it's a uh
310. 42:34I think it's an interesting idea but I would be careful not to start something that automates project management as it
311. 42:43is today because project management as it is today is going to it's just it's going to cease to exist in the form it is um
312. 42:55it's going to emerge as something new like we still need listen we still need people on this planet that
313. 43:02are good at organizing stuff I'm not one of them I need project managers in my life because I'm you know I'm a horrific
314. 43:08mess when it comes to that stuff um so we're still gonna need those kind of people but a lot of the like a lot of
315. 43:15the work that project managers do is dealing with these massively complicated software programs to track these
316. 43:22massively complicated projects and they have the what what I consider magical ability to do all that and keep it in
317. 43:29their head or at least be able to track it in these tools you know imagine being able to say to a tool to just to a a project management
318. 43:39front end hey the client's going to be two days late on this deliverable please adjust everything accordingly and it
319. 43:47just does right it trickles that change through you know every element of of the the system and it might even be smart enough to go
320. 43:57um you know one of your deadlines is marked as critical and this two-day delay here you know when I when I when I
321. 44:04run it down to the bottom of the of the plan it's a it's a two-month delay and you've got a critical deadline that's
322. 44:10one month out and it it might flag that so then you can go back to the client and say hey this two days is going to
323. 44:17cost us two months down the road do you wanna do you want to deal with this now or do you want to deal with this later
324. 44:22um so but again I think I think if you've got those skills your ability to understand um how project management might change
325. 44:30with these tools is probably better than someone who doesn't know it so like with everyone I say get curious about this stuff lean into it
326. 44:40um that's what you're afraid of I know sorry okay great you're the if if you're someone who can track all that stuff
327. 44:47you're a miracle worker in in my uh in my world because that's how anything gets done around me um they wanted to pay the same amount I
328. 44:59don't know if that's in reference to oh wait my wife is an editor writer one of her clients came to her and said they
329. 45:05wanted 10x output for the same amount of money yeah so so I think that's going to happen a lot and then I think you have a choice
330. 45:11to make so again the the money that she's charging is is based on a scarcity mindset depending on what she's writing if she's writing
331. 45:21um relatively replicable things like blog posts or not replicable things that are more formulaic um where it's the same kind of thing
332. 45:31over and over again I would say um that's the kind of thing where the the fact that they're coming to her and
333. 45:36saying we want 10x output for the same price rather than just saying hey thanks we've got it from here
334. 45:42um I think I think a lot of writers are going to start facing that reality where people are just going to pull this stuff
335. 45:48in house because they've got someone that knows how to use chat gbt and it generates enough of this content I've
336. 45:53generated I've created four different content generation tools in the past couple of months um they're remarkably good they're
337. 46:01remarkably good um if you want you know if what she does is is more high-end um like in investigative journalism or
338. 46:11something like that that requires time and and things like that that might not be a situation but I I think you know writing
339. 46:19is one of those areas where where the value of it uh is going to drop precipitously I mean we we're moving
340. 46:27into a world where there's no scarcity of content um okay hey I'm thinking oh wait oh she told them to shove it I listen I
341. 46:38completely understand that I think that um if she can maintain her rates in in what's coming more power to her
342. 46:50um yeah if you've got your own things you can work on then then put put your put yeah if she's got skills I would say
343. 46:55you know put put your effort into um projects that you've got more control of where where you know you can control the outcome as well so
344. 47:04um yeah it I I think that's not the last we'll hear of that uh I'm thinking AI could produce new perfume based on my personal
345. 47:14whatever question mark my personal yeah um I think so I did a um I've got some of my family are in pain
346. 47:24and they they have this pain juice that they took that was some combination of I don't know it had turmeric and a bunch of other stuff in it
347. 47:32um and and I use chat GPT to analyze what was in it both the active ingredients and the inner ingredients I had it
348. 47:42see if it could recommend any other kind of things that would help with their conditions and it did um it then told me the purpose of what
349. 47:52all of those elements did and then I said okay based on that can you help me come up with a recipe to
350. 47:59recreate this stuff because the company went out of business um and it did that so I would I would think that you could very very easily
351. 48:07ask chat GPT to give you a rundown of the different kinds of ingredients that are in perfume um and even probably kind of reverse
352. 48:16engineer your favorite perfume and say well I like I like what's in this one and what's in that one depending on what it what it understands
353. 48:24to be in those things you could probably create a personalized perfume um formula probably within an hour or two so yes you can do that
354. 48:36now let's see can AI explore Alternative Energy Systems like Stan Myers RF systems the great fuel processor I think that
355. 48:45um yes I think that AI is going to start solving a lot of problems um that that have been persistent problems
356. 48:57um so whether it's hydrolysis you know getting hydrogen off of water and and figuring out a way to do that that's
357. 49:04actually energy positive like Stan Meyer said he had or whether it's curing cancer um Sam Altman in one of his talks said
358. 49:15that he thinks that we'll see a year in the not too distant future where where we will see in a single year the amount
359. 49:23of scientific advancement we've seen in the past 500. um so I I think that um the as as these tools get more advanced and
360. 49:37and more and more people start um using them to solve different components of problems um I think I think we're going to see
361. 49:46some pretty remarkable changes let's see um going to have some hard decisions coming down the pipeline for many
362. 49:54working people yeah so here's here's here's a here's a silver lining hopefully to the Dark Cloud that I mean
363. 50:00the disruption that's coming is going to be massive and it's going to be painful but for every person that is displaced
364. 50:06they also have access to all of these powerful tools so I think what's going to end up happening is you're going to start to
365. 50:13get you know three or four people that got you know dumped from a company unceremoniously because you know the
366. 50:19capitalist machine took over and said you know cut the cut the excess um they're going to take these tools and
367. 50:27they're going to start a competitor to that company and they're probably going to take it down because they're going to
368. 50:31start it without any baggage of you know whatever you know whatever was the baggage of that company for the for the
369. 50:38past decade or 30 years whatever it might have been so I think we're going to see a lot of innovation I I think
370. 50:43we're going to see uh the the displaced people I mean human beings are going to fill their time right there I I there's
371. 50:50kind of a narrative out there that that these machines are going to take people's jobs and they're going to um
372. 50:59the people are just going to sit around and be destitute and I just it's not human nature I think people are going to
373. 51:05get displaced and they're going to be pissed off and they're going to try to do eBay or they're going to try to do
374. 51:09this and that may or may not work and then they're going to start be playing with AI and all of a sudden they're gonna go wait a minute and
375. 51:14they're going to come up with an idea and with themselves or with another person or two they're going to be able
376. 51:20to do remarkable things because of the power of these tools right so so this doesn't just benefit the big
377. 51:26corporations it benefits individuals who are displaced so um so I think there's a bit of a silver lining there but I think I think the
378. 51:34next two to three years um are going to be pretty painful because the definition of what work is and what
379. 51:44um where the value of certain jobs is is going to change dramatically and and so I would say getting curious about AI
380. 51:53being flexible about how you define yourself if you define yourself as I'm a writer and that's all I do and that's
381. 52:00all I'm going to think about you're probably going to be hurt more than someone who goes I've got writing
382. 52:06skills and I'm willing to apply those writing skills in a lot of different areas and especially with these tools
383. 52:11that require some writing skills to get good good content out of them um you know they're going to do better
384. 52:17than someone who just tries to stick with the way it was because the way it was is changing for everyone
385. 52:25um let's see numerous folks just got laid off from Silicon Valley are going to be building massive amounts of tools exactly
386. 52:32and and it's actually really interesting I heard uh the on Jason kalkanus's podcast I forget what it's called but um
387. 52:39they were talking about this is I I have I have no um pity for for VCS facing challenges but VCS are going to be facing challenges because
388. 52:50you're not going to need 500 million dollars to start up a new technology startup with these AI tools you might
389. 52:56need 30 or 50 million total right or less right you know five or ten or two or three um to create incredibly sophisticated
390. 53:04companies um and so um they're they're not going to be able to invest like below a certain threshold the big VC firms they don't make any
391. 53:13money it's not in their business model so I think it might even impact the VC Market how that works uh yeah no pity exactly
392. 53:21um and yeah I I think I think the opportunity for individuals in the next two to three years is as massive as the
393. 53:29impact of people are going to lose their jobs right um these tools are remarkable Sam Altman described them as you know putting magic
394. 53:39in people's hands and see what they do with it that's that's what these tools are they are magic um you just got to look at them like
395. 53:46that and not be too afraid let's see all right I need to go do some grocery shopping let's say do I still
396. 53:53carry guilt over the first time I can that's nice committed infidelity um what was it I used to there's a joke
397. 54:04are you still hitting your wife um let's see can AI Alternative Energy what's good um all right I think that's about it
398. 54:16um this was my first live I don't really know how to do these things so if this sucks my apologies if this was good I'd
399. 54:21have a new message what's the new message yeah I Rock's happy to hear about your meeting thank you very much appreciate that
400. 54:27thanks for the views thank you thank you all for staying and watching uh I'm gonna run off I'm gonna go do some uh
401. 54:34some grocery shopping get some stuff for the fam and uh I will be back I guess I'll I'll do these if they're of value I
402. 54:41don't I don't know where you dropped me a comment but drop me a comment or I guess you've been dropping them here so
403. 54:47like I said I'm new to this and I'm an old guy so I don't know technology all right everybody I'll talk to you soon
